Uncanny Valley

  1. a lot of clothing companies assume that women under xl don't have a chest. I wear small shirts and have an issue with the armpit/upper side seams being WAY too tight because I'm a c (a perfectly average chest size). fabric gets stretched (and stressed) over the chest area and I can't wear button down shirts at all without modifying them. sizing up to a medium or large sometimes helps, but then everything else is too big - especially things like necklines and armholes showing off too much.
  2. most accessories (even women specific accessories like purses) are designed to be unisex and cater to flat chests. I've found a lot of backpacks seem to have the widest part of the strap directly next to the boob and it cuts in a bit. you pretty much don't ever find accessories with even the slightest built in curve. or like a cross bag like the yellow one in the comic won't sit right on your shoulder/hips because the whole bag design is thrown off by extra tension over the chest.
  3. a bit unrelated but still a pet peeve of mine, a lot of newer clothing designs are specifically meant to be worn without a bra but also don't have a bra built in.
